Just a heads-up: a local bookstore that deals with English language books (I live in Mexico City) will get me the Challenges For Game Designers book. It’s supposed to arrive this week. I’m really excited about this.

@Joe Murphy: Groups are informal, it just means you have some people who you already know who are taking the course. All projects are still individual, it is just useful to have some playtesters for your game prototypes who happen to be also learning the same things you are 🙂

@amanda: Thanks for dropping by! I’ve tried to include as much information as possible on this blog; if you have any questions that you can’t find the answers to, feel free to email or write here.

Hmmm… It seems my copy of ‘Challenges for game designers’ might turn up on the 29th, or 11 days later, whatever the postal service decides is best… Any problems with that for me doing the course? I’ve got the other 2 books…

I have sent in two registration requests but still have not received an acceptance for this course. Is this course registration closed, full or am I just not receiving the approval to take this course?

Since the course starts tomorrow now, does this mean I won’t be able to attend your course? I was really looking forward to taking this online. Please advise.

@Robert, Steve, Kevin and others: Apologies for the delay. I’ve got a backlog of about 300 last-minute registrations to sort through, so it is taking longer than usual for me to respond to each email. Rest assured, if you send something in before the course starts, I will make sure you’re on the list. I appreciate your patience.

In the interests of fairness, I made the cutoff at 12 noon GMT. If you sent in your registration before that, you should have received a confirmation. If the timestamp is after that, I will send out an apology in the near future.

This blog is still open to the public and will remain so, and you can feel free to follow along and even comment throughout the summer. I would certainly invite anyone to do so.

What registration does is gives you access to the private wiki and discussion forum, for the purposes of collaboration and peer feedback. The purpose of this is for people who want a more in-depth experience.
